Dump Matsumoto

[10.0] "The perfect heel. Whether she was brutalising her eternal foes the Crush Gals, or beating up her protégé Bull she instantly got the crowd against her and for her opponent. A blatant disregard for rules, evil personified in the ring and not afraid to terrify her audience. Yes, she went further than everyone else at the time, but what's important is that her timing was impeccable, she knew how to pull on the emotions of the crowd perfectly and even if most of her big matches ended in no contests or wins for her, she put over her foes brilliantly. To watch her now, one will see an expert in heel work. If today's heels had an ounce of what she had, they'd be improved massively. A genius of heel craft."

[10.0] "God save my eyes from another foul word against Dump. It takes an entirely different plane of wrestling to embody an idea... she wasn't just the bad, big girl, she was the CORRUPTION gaining ground on the innocence of the Crush Gals and the other babyfaces. Her crowd work is impeccable. I would argue she's a top ten heel ALL TIME and I can't really construct a good argument against it."

[5.0] "Undeniable drawing power, but honestly in those years AJW drew a lot of money no matter whom they put in the ring. However I don't think she was anywhere near as good as Aja Kong and Bull Nakano as an all-around performer: her matches were big financial successes in the days but so were Big Daddy's and both are borderline unwatchable nowadays."

[9.0] "Another total legend in the history of AJW. Other wrestlers have attempted to do what she did back in the day, but all they've proved in their efforts is that Dump was simply one of a kind."

[10.0] "She was a superheavyweight as a women who could wrestle very well. Too bad she did not get much exposure in North America and internationally."

[10.0] "If you want to talk about aura, there are few ever who can compete with Dump. She feels like she would attack anyone for absolutely no reason and not give a damn for the consequences. She is not pretty in the ring but damn is she effective, and mesmerizing to watch. One of the most striking performers of all time."

[10.0] "When people talk about Women Wrestlers of Japan usually names like Bull Nakano and Manami Toyota will first come to mind, but people seem to forget or be unfamiliar of Dump Matsumoto whom I consider as one of the greatest and toughest women wrestlers of all time! She proved that women are not just eye candy and kick ass! Her great in-ring work and longevity gets a 10 from me!"

[9.0] "A classic wrestler from the past who is still working today in Japan. She scares the crowd every time she steps out from behind the curtain"

[8.0] "Dump Matsumoto is a great female wrestler, her time in All Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling in the 1980's was really fun to watch. She was quite good in the ring, she knew how to work the crowd and her character was just as good + her theme music is awesome. She truly is one of the most unique female wrestlers in history."
